5. In all seriousness, what has changed in over 60 years?
In 1947, the Arabs wanted a single state (with an Arab majority), meaning no Jewish sovereignty in any part of the Holy Land. Then, after Israel was established, they demanded the right to return and destroy the Jewish state. Then, in the 1980's they claimed to agree with the idea of two states (but still with full right of return), which would still ensure Arab majority in Israel. Now it's moving back to a one state demand. However you slice it, the Palestinian demand has always been that Israel cease to exist as a Jewish state and be replaced by an Arab one with a Jewish minority. The Palestinians keep demanding essentially the same thing over and over, and somehow now expect a different result?
